on the fisheries dispute. Mr.. Blaine's asser-
ton in that speech that the award was vastly

At the opera the other night, says the
Chicago "Herald," was q young news
paper man who knows a good many
people, HeNsat in a free seat attired in
IL borrowed dress suit, and with barely
enough cash in his pockets to pay the
ice cream and street car fare for the ele-
giant young lady of good family and due
accomplishments who had accepted his
escort. Between the acts he begged to
be excused, and retired for a few mo-
ments to the foyer, where he was seen in
conversation with a large, plain-looking
man, and a handsome man with a brown
mustachc.
Il don't like to speak of such things 50
he said to the young lady on returning
to his seat, ''as | think that Boosting of
ones wealth is about the most VII gar
thing out. But it is a singular coinci-
dene that while I was standing in the
foyer just now two gentlemen came up
and entered into conversation with me.
AS we were talking happened to think
that the three of us we're worth four
million and a half dollars.'
''Indeed?" queried the lady, who had
not known him long.

millions. George Pullman n million,

DocfOrs In RussiG.

The Russians are not in all respects q
nation to be initiated, but there are some
things we might learn even from them.
For instance, a Russian doctor who fails
to attend a patient when called upon to
do SO commits 4 legal o%ffense, the
punishment for which is a fine varying
from 5 to 100 rubies, or, in q case Of
gravity, 4 term Of three months inprison-
ment. This is q much better means Of
keeping a medical man up to the mark,
where the patient is not q paying one,
than the remote prospect Of an inquest
before q medical coroner. I observe,
too, that in Russia medical fees are regu-
lated by law. which is also not . bad
idea.--London Truth.

of ten years had diptheria. / attended

He had a sister two years older, called

life" Always she spoke. of me as 'the
good doctor who saved Jimmy's life"
and I in turn, won by her |affectionate
words and ways, fell into the~habit of
thinking and speaking of her as ''my
good little girl" Thus we became ex-
cellent friends.
Not long afterward Sadie herself had
diptheria for which she was Every sorry,
because it prevented her from gathering
a bushel of hickory nuts to pay me for
saving Jimmy's life" In all her sickness
she never expressed n regret for her
self. Her disease ran ~ominously, but at
last she seemed convalescent, and one
day her father called to say that Sadie
was much better, end I need not trouble
to call again. But early the next morn
ing he reused me and said he feared Sadie
was dying. I fastened to her bedside
and found that it was even so. She knew
me. Beside her in bed, under the rag
ged quilt, she had asmall bag of hickory
nuts, gathered by her the day before at
the expense of her life. "For saving
brother jimmy" she gasped; and in a
few moments my good little girl was

Inc Value Of q Voc in Scotland.

What will American voters think of the
fact that some had TO walk twenty mics
to record their votes, and they walked it
Under torrents Of rain! In other cases
they had to cross stormy channels in
small boats. So determined were the
people Of my native place to vote that
TIE mcn joined together and hired a
sm< steamer.
In another case the candidate himself
chartered 4 steamer for the day. and on
its arrival such was the tempest that the
small boats could scarcely get out to it..
Not to be beaten, the voters carried on
their shoulders a large boat from far
inland and launched it for the occasion.
Thus, by boat and steamer and road, the
new voters found their way to the flr-off
polling booths, and for the first time
realized they were men of national inn
POrtance.

For the Eo,nnlexlnn,.

A treatment, especially for the skin is
often necessary, and though it may seem
severe, this n is highly recommended:
A tablespoonful Of sulphur taken every
other morning for a week, then omitted
for three mornings, and then taken
again, will clear The complexion, but
will probably make the black specks
that bother 50 much, more numerous for
a week or two. A mixture of powdered
birthstone in diluted glycerinc, rubbed
on at night 10 connection with the other
treatment, will soon cause them to dis
appear. Wash this off carefully in the
morning with soap and water in which
there is a little ammonia. The sulphur
taken internally is not commended for
women who are slcnderly built, nervous
temperament, and apparently bloodless;
but for those who suffer because of the
%oiliness of their skins. The powdered
sulphur, with water and glycerine, rub
bed on the face at night on going to bed
is good for anybody's complexion at any
timc.-.LBaNh and Homo.
